What Would Tequila Do?: The Playbook For Thriving Despite Corporate Bullshit. 52 Shots. No Filler. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996021222)

You started out weird. What happened?

You had opinions. You pushed back. You tried things that hadn't been approved yet. Then the job happened. The reviews, the guardrails, the polite corrections. The endless meetings about alignment. The brand guidelines someone called creativity.

And somewhere along the way you started writing "I hope this email finds you well."

This book is for the people who are done with that.

Not done with work. Done with the version of work that sands everything interesting out of you and calls it professionalism. Done with safe headlines, forgettable campaigns, and strategies that sound bold in a deck and do absolutely nothing in the real world. Done with leaders who confuse motion with progress, visions nobody remembers, and urgency that exists purely to hide bad prioritization.

What Would Tequila Do is not a framework. It is not a system. It will not give you five steps to anything.

It is 52 chapters built around one premise: most people already know what needs to be said. They have just been trained not to say it.

Each chapter stands alone. No narrative arc. No build-up required. Open it anywhere -- when something feels off, when a decision won't move, when you're sitting in a meeting that should have been an email and everyone knows it but nobody will say so.

Inside you'll find:

• Why safe doesn't fail. It just gets ignored.

• Why clarity is the rarest thing in most companies and the only thing that actually creates speed.

• Why most vision statements are corporate cosplay and how to write one that actually guides decisions.

• Why your customers don't give a shit about your effort and what they actually care about instead.

• Why the boring parts are the only parts that deliver results and how to move through them faster.

• And 47 other things most business books bury under 50,000 words of filler.

52 chapters. Any order. No fluff. No framework. No advice from someone who figured it all out in a TED Talk.

Just the things people know but have been trained not to say out loud.

Pick one. Read it. Then go do something that would have made you nervous two years ago.

The tequila is optional.

The thinking isn't.
